It’s been revealed that Louis Walsh has been forced to say NO to the ‘Rolling In The Deep’ star Adele, and say yes to Simons little helper Sinitta as his guest mentor for the judges houses.

It’s said that the Louis is fuming after being told that he has been lumbered with the ‘So Macho’ singer instead of chart topping star Adele, after perviously being told that he would be paired with the 23 year old Brit for the judges houses stage. Simon Cowell made a last minute decision to replace the singer with his long term pal Sinitta, which left Louis furious.

A source close to Louis told the Sunday Mirror: “He was fuming. He saw it as yet another snub after he lost out to Gary as head judge. Adele was really up for it and had agreed in principle. Louis was thrilled because he ­absolutely loves her.

Adele had already had several meetings with Cowell, but he still decided to make the shock decision. Louis apparently tried to find out what had changed and if there was anything he could do to keep Adele. Despite this he was told Cowell’s decision was final.

Rumours have it that Adele is more than likely to secure a place as a mentor on the US version of the X Factor later this year.

Also, last night’s Xtra Factor spin off show saw Garry Barlow named ‘head judge’ despite Louis being the only original judge left on the panel. This has also said to have left Louis feeling overlooked and angry.

Keep it central!
